[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Attachment links' query strings interfering with jQuery detection

You can disable the option on the browser cache settings tab, but it would be best for that plugin to be updated to understand query strings. The query string allows you to change your browser cache settings or the the contents of the jpg and have your users be able to download the updated version without flushing their caches (which they wouldn’t know to do).

Makes sense. Do you (or anyone) know the appropriate jQuery selector(s) for identifying links to images which won’t get confused by query strings?

hi Frederick,
am trying to active the themes but i got this error ” Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in /home/mdvcommy/public_html/en/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Plugin/TotalCacheAdmin.php on line 2909″ please advice how to fix it? i already changed the permission to 777 for both dir that you said in your installation page.

PHP has a memory problem. Raise your memory size in the file php.ini

@blank81, why hijack this thread about a completely different topic?

This question is about jQuery selectors breaking due to query strings added by W3 Total Cache to prevent browser caching when settings have changed.

Please start a new thread to ask a new question.

OK, through a conversation over at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9501929/jquery-selector-for-links-to-images-which-tolerates-query-strings I’ve come to the conclusion that the selectors should probably just be $(a[href*=".jpg']), which has the liability of being fooled by URLs like https://example.com/img.jpg.aspx, but I think in my case is better than not having the query string.

I’ve found a way to modify the Easy Fancybox plugin, which you can see the progress of in this thread:

The developer of the Easy Fancybox plugin, @ravanh, has been very responsive and is testing changing the jQuery selector for image links to href*= to accommodate the possibility of a query string. Wonderful!

So you’re all set and your memory issue is also resolved?

Yes, thank you! I think this is now resolved.
